Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Latta High School "Lady Vikings" basketball team crowned its superlative 25-1 season by capturing the 2007 Class A State Girls Basketball Championship title, defeating Indian Land 60-46 at Columbia's Colonial Center; and

Whereas, scoring a team-high fifteen points in the final game, junior standout Rubylee Wright was named the All-Tournament Team's Most Valuable Player; and
Whereas, the General Assembly takes great pleasure in recognizing the young women of the Latta High School girls basketball team for leading with excellence both in the classroom and on the basketball court and expects to hear of continued great achievements in the years ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
